We took the tree down early morning of the 3rd, and noticed what had happened. The baseboard on the wall adjoining the crawl space was warped, and the wall an inch or two above it was damp. Also, some of the water had seeped into the carpeting a few inches from the wall (about 6-8 square feet or so). I was concerned that a pipe had burst, given there was some subfreezing weather the week before, and was expecting a rather expensive repair/cleanup, so we scoured Angies List for reputable companies, and found 24/7 Flood Response. We gave them a call and they were able to make it out to our house within a couple hours. Jason was very friendly and explained everything he was doing so it made sense to us. Within a half hour, we knew that the leak had some from a very slow dripping outdoor faucet directly outside the crawl space, which had seeped through the house siding/concrete, collected on top of a concrete wall and seeped through from there into the house. Fortunately the damage was pretty minor and just required some moisture removal to dry things out both inside and in the crawl space. Jason pointed me out to where to find the moisture in the crawl space before any work began, and explained the problem solution and estimate of the cost beforehand. We also received a reassurance that if for some reason things weren't dry within the 3 days, he'd give us an extra day of equipment rental free to make sure the problem was solved. It took 3 days of running the equipment to get the moisture levels to "within range" (Jason showed us this with a moisture reading device on the walls). The wall didn't require any drywall repair, and the only thing I had left to do was to replace the baseboard, of which I have plenty of spare material left over from when I had installed it a couple years prior. Jason's service was exemplary, the price was within reason, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use 24/7 Flood Control again! Thank you Jason!

The railroad ties were rotting out and the whole wall, as well as the fence we built, was leaning heavily into a steep ravine. We met with four contractors and received bids from all of them. We really liked one contractor?s ideas, but he was by far the most expensive. A & J Retaining Walls gave us a bid that seemed reasonable in comparison to the others, so we checked them out on the Better Business Bureau site and on Angie?s list and they were highly rated on both. A & J also seemed to guarantee their work longer than the other contractors. They were able to start the job right away, and once they started they worked extremely hard to make sure the job was done on time. I had the opportunity to observe them working on numerous occasions, and it seemed obvious they knew what they were doing, and they didn?t cut any corners. This was a difficult job because the wall needed to be built on a steep slope, and they took great care to make sure they were setting the foundation on solid ground. We also needed to have a fence built on top of the retaining wall for safety reasons and to keep our dogs in our back yard, and Jas, one of the owners, had a great suggestion to pour a 6? concrete cap on top of the retaining wall that he could set brackets into hold the 4x4 fence posts. We were so impressed with the quality of work being done that we asked A & J Retaining walls to give us a bid on another retaining wall on the other side of our property, and we ended up having them do that work as well. Overall, we are very satisfied with the job Jas & his crew did. We have had many compliments from our neighbors on how nice the retaining wall looked, and also how nice the new fence looked. I would highly recommend A & J Retaining Walls. We made several upgrades to the project once we were started, and the additional charges were fair and reasonable."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wa/lynnwood/a-and-j-retaining-walls-co-reviews-2052691.htm"},"position":10}]}
Concrete Wall Construction reviews from real Angi homeowners in Everett, WA
We had several estimates for demo of our driveway and a new one poured. Saul really impressed us and we were very impressed with all his team. Beautiful new driveway in 4 days. It is perfection. We recommend Saul for any concrete work you need done
I can't praise Lucas Construction enough. Very professional with quality work. I would recommend this company for anyone who needs concrete poured. Only 5 days to complete the job start to finish not because they where in a hurry but because they really knew what they where doing. Not long in...

I love my new driveway, steps and walkway to the front door! The Norway Spruce had broken up the concrete in the driveway. Up until we met Alan L. from System Pavers, everyone’s solution to repairing or replacing the driveway was to either remove the tree or cut one of the major roots which...

"I am a repeat customer, so I knew the carpenter, Joe, coming in. I started by using their design contractor. I gave her the colors and ideas (beach theme, ceramic wood-look floor tiles), and she pulled the rest together. Invaluable because I can't trust my own taste. They removed a square shower in the corner and a set of shelves next to it, and glassed in that end of the room for a full shower. We put tile down along the whole room, with a recessed shower pan, and a linear drain against the wall. Joe built-in medicine cabinets, and trim all around the room, per my design pictures. The subs included a glass door guy, the plumber, the tiler, painter, and the countertop slab tiler. We also had some work done in our hallway. They removed the single boob light from the middle, and installed two recessed lights on either end, along with putting two switch boxes on either end of the hallway. Joe built a floor to ceiling cabinet in a 13” dead space at the end of the hallway, which included a laundry hamper on tracks, cubbies, and shelves. And then on a whim, I asked to have our old hallway linen cupboard doors replaced to match the new ones. We had two leaks during and after, but one reason I would use them again, is how they handled both times. One was a leak from the plug on the toilet supply. We found it on a Saturday morning, and I ended up waking up our carpenter with my text. He came out and figured it out and fixed it by 1. The other one was after everything was done and cleaned up, and we had paid for everything. The basement bathroom ceiling, fan, and wall below the master was wet one day, and we realized a joint in the pipe from the master toilet to the stack was slowly dripping between the two rooms. I texted Joe again, and he referred me to our GC, who came out with a plumber and fixed it. They had to make a hole in the downstairs drywall, so he has been coming back regularly to put three layers of mud on the new drywall. I was so sure that they would regretfully find that it wasn't their fault and we would have to deal with the cost and bother of finding a plumber and carpenter. Start to finish, it took about four months, but three weeks of that was the initial tile order, and another three for an incorrect tile order."

Concrete Walls questions, answered by experts
The length of time it takes to construct a seawall depends on the size and material; commercial seawalls tend to be much more extensive and thus take longer to build. Expect the actual construction to take between a few weeks and a few months, but the preparation before work even begins might take just as long.
With proper installation and sealing, both poured concrete and cinder block walls can be durable options for your yard or home. Poured concrete walls do offer more durability and strength, but cinder block walls are less expensive to build and DIY. A concrete wall costs an average of $6,500.
While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space.
For handy homeowners, concrete projects are DIYable, and DIYing is a good way to save on the cost of a concrete slab, walkway, or other concrete work. If you’re completing a larger project or one that’s subject to building codes, you should always hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely and correctly.
Brick walls are typically more expensive than concrete walls due to higher material and labor costs. Brick wall costs can range from $10 to $45 per square foot, plus $70 to $110 per hour for labor. Meanwhile, concrete block walls usually cost $10 to $20 per square foot, depending on the material type. Labor for concrete tends to be less intensive and costly. Ultimately, concrete is often the more affordable choice, especially for larger projects.
